Leider kann man durch die Öffnung nicht allzu gut hinein sehen und Birgit mit ihren begrenzten werkzeugtechnischen Fähigkeiten war nicht in der Lage, daran etwas zu ändern. Und viel Platz zum Einrichten war durch die Rundungen auch nicht vorhanden. Viel mehr als die beiden Möbel, die Ilona damals für Bowler gemacht hat, gehen gar nicht rein. Und weil bei einem Gentlebärchen wie mir Service nun mal mit großem "S" geschrieben wird, zeige ich Euch zur Erinnerung noch mal Bowlers Bett und den Kamin.Sadly the opening doesn't allow a good view to the inside and Birgit with her limited tool-using-skills was not able to make this better. And due to the roundness of the bauble there wasn't much space for decoration either. Not more than the two pieces of furniture Ilona made for Bowler back then do fit in there. But because a gentlebeary like me knows well how to spell "service" I'm helping your memory now by showing Bowler's bed and fireplace.

Hier sind noch mal die Archivbilder, als Bowler zum ersten Mal sein neues Bett mit der wolkenweichen Matratze getestet hat.And here are pictures from the archive showing Bowler when he tested his new bed with the mattress being as soft as a cloud for the first time.

Man hat selten so einen glücklichen Schneemann gesehen, oder? *lach* Irgendwie schön, so ein Bett mit Schneemännern an den Pfosten, oder? Könnte mir auch gefallen...Did you ever see a snowman being happier than this one? *LOL* Somehow nice, such a bed with snowmen on top of the posts, isn't it. I would like that too...

Menno... aber ein vielbeschäftigtes Blogbärchen wie ich wird ja wohl auch mal was vergessen dürfen! Hätte ich heute schon eine Schale voll mit Erdbeeren bekommen, wäre das nicht passiert... ach ja... süße, rote, saftige, aromatische Erdbeeren... *seufz*... äh... wo war ich... ja, jedenfalls hat Birgit nun beschlossen, die Schwierigkeiten, die sie mit Bowlers Schneeballhaus hatte, mit Hilfe der Ecke zu lösen. Wie sie das anstellen will, ist mir zwar noch ein Rätsel, man weiß ja vom Fußball, dass das Runde ins Eckige muss, aber wie sie hier das Runde mit dem Eckigen verbinden will... man wird sehen, vor allem, weil noch was Welliges dazu kommt. Nämlich das hier:Rats... but a very busy blogbeary like me should be allowed to forget something every now and then! If I'd had a bowl full of strawberries today this would not have happened... oh my... sweet, red, juicy, aromatic strawberries... *sigh*... eh... where was I... anyhow, Birgit has now decided to solve all her problems about Bowler's snowball home with the help of the corner. How she's supposed to do so is still not clear to me, we all know the Soccer rule that says the round thing needs to be put into the corner thing but how she is going to combine this round thing with this corner thing... we will see, especially because in addition there will also be something wavy. I'm talking about this:

Wellpappe! Es wird immer mysteriöser... aber noch viel mysteriöser ist die Ablehnung meines Vorschlags für die Innentapete! Schaut mal - die ist doch wohl ein Traum!We don't know how it's called in English, in German we call it "Wellpappe" = wavy cardboard. It gets more and more mysterious... but even more mysterious was the refusal of my suggestion regarding the interior wallpaper! Just have a look - this is for sure a dream come true!

Naja... immerhin sind da auch Schneeflocken drauf... wenn auch in hellblau... ich hätte ja das erdbeerrot viel schöner gefunden, ich meine, was kann schöner sein als die Farbe der schönsten aller Früchte?! Ach ja... Erdbeeren... süße, rote... äh... oops... aber gut, es wird ja nicht mein Haus und schließlich bin ich ja schon stolzer Besitzer der schönsten Immobilie, die je ein Flatterbärchen besessen hat: Strawberry Cottage. Das hier wird nun mal Bowlers Heim...Well... at least they have snowflakes on... although they are in light blue... in my opinion the strawberry red would have been so much lovlier, see, what could ever be more lovely than the color of the most beautiful of all fruits?! Oh my... strawberries... sweet, red... eh... oops... but okay, this will not be my home and at least I am already the proud owner of the most beautiful property any flutterybeary has ever owned: Strawberry Cottage. And this one is going to become Bowler's home...

... und ich glaube, der hat gegen kühle Farben nicht wirklich was einzuwenden. Na, wir werden sehen, wie das alles weiter geht... ;O)... and I suppose he would not object to cool colors. Well, we will see how all of this will turn out... ;O)Wir wünschen Euch einen wunderschönen Juni!We're wishing to all of you a fantastic June!

Hallo Fluby! Finally it's strawberry time for you, hurray :D! I hope you don't mind if I tell you now that this evening I've just eaten a big bowl filled with these delicious fruits, soooo yummy ;O!But your Birgit is a true craftsman, I bet that she can fix this difficult job, for getting together a square and a round object, all she need is a bit of magic ;)!I'm glad to read/see that Bowler is still satisfied with his bed and bauble house, let's see what Birgit can do for him.Wishing you, the gang of bearies and your Birgit a nice month of June, enjoy!Liebe Grüsse, Schepje, Little Me (who is recovering slowly ;) ) und Ilona

Dear Flutterby,I too, love June and strawberries. Cannot believe how quickly it arrived.Now I'm looking forward to see the combination of "round and corner" and and expect it to be marvelous. Ilona made Bowler a very lovely and comfy bed which he seems to be enjoying.Hugs, Drora

Gosh, Fluby, I have arrived so late to comment here, I am sure by now you will have had at least Five delicious bowls of Strawberries!!! I know I am having a hard time believing we are in June already.... and the cool weather over here has not been very convincing! Pretty soon we will be on the countdown to that other end of the year which has that Holiday that begins with a "C" but we don't want to mention it too Loudly so as not to cause a panic! (But it might be time to start to get ready!) :) I think the saying for June is a very funny one... because sometimes we have to try hard to laugh with Life! But it is always worth the effort, and always makes things look better! As for the Mystery Corner... it is no Mystery because we All know that Birgit will be working her Magic and we will be surprised and charmed and delighted to see the results!!! :):):) The only difficulty is being Patient!!! :)
